Chapter 67: Come, Let's Show It

Please support us indifferently, it is not easy for us! If it's a big holiday, collect one!

Although the barracks are only thatched huts, they stretch for several miles, especially in the school fields not far away, and there are constantly loud noises made by the training of soldiers, which makes people feel very shocked.

Datong Mansion is in front of him, Cai Maode is not leaving, he is interested in Zhou Yuji and asked: "Cui'an, the old man go and take a look, see how Cui'an trains his troops!" ”

Cai Maode's expectations for Zhou Yuji are too high, and he can't wait to go to the barracks to see if this Zhou Yuji will really surprise him.

For convenience, all the school yards were located not far from the barracks, which covered too much space, for which Zhou Huchen compensated the people who owned these lands with a lot of silver.

Leaving those soldiers who returned to Datong, a group of officials came to the barracks and began to look at the flowers. It was training time for the large troops, and the barracks were quiet and almost empty, except for a few soldiers on duty in front of the barracks.

Soon, the people who had no interest in the hut left the barracks, and there was a school field not far ahead.

Since coming to Datong, Zhou Yuji has actually been a hands-off shopkeeper, and his main job is to patrol the camp. Today's job is to accompany the old man Cai Maode and make him happy, as for other things, there is that son Zhou Huchen, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

The school field in front of me is very large, because this is a cavalry training ground, how can horses run away if the field is small.

The scene in the school field really opened Cai Maode's eyes, nearly a thousand war horses were put into training in an orderly manner, the soldiers were high-spirited, when the war horses began to start, began to gallop, the heavy sound of horses' hooves with the kind of strong masculine beauty, it was very kind and pleasing to the eye.

What made Cai Maode even more incomprehensible was that in addition to galloping in the school field for various trainings, these cavalry also had to ride their war horses over the undulating trenches on one side. In the trenches there was either water or fire burning, and in some of the trenches there were soldiers constantly throwing blocks of earth or a piece of wood at the rushing cavalry.

It was a surprising sight, and it was incredible that not a single soldier had fallen in front of the wide trench.

"Such a strong cavalryman, the training is so unique! No wonder you can defeat tens of thousands of Jiannu with more than 1,000 people, Cui'an is really very comparable! "The scene in front of me was really shocking

Cai Maode, his appreciation was overflowing: "How many cavalry do we have?" ”

Zhou Yuji looked at Zhou Huchen, who was accompanying him, and asked him to explain that he should know this amount best.

Zhou Huchen took two steps forward, his expression was very proud: "My lord, we have a total of 8,000 cavalry, and there are enough war horses, this Shanxi is a good place!" The cavalry is too good to gather! ”

"Uh-huh, nice!" Cai Maode couldn't help but nod again and again, eight thousand cavalry is really a lot.

Cai Maodeyan can not understand the strength of the cavalry, what is the concept of 8,000 cavalry, that is, compared with the infantry 1 to 5, this is also equivalent to 40,000 troops, not to mention Zhou Yuji's fame and achievements are there, in a word; That's amazing!

Indeed, as Zhou Huchen said, Shanxi is full of loess slopes, and you have to rely on mules and horses to go out, so almost all adult men can ride horses, and it is correspondingly easier to recruit cavalry. In fact, it is the word "we" that makes Cai Maode more satisfied, how to say, this is also a soldier under his own system, Zhou Huchen can call himself "we", this is a signal to obey orders, 8,000 cavalry, can be worth 40,000 infantry! Cai Maode's heart has blossomed.

Tsai carefully looked at the cavalry training, and Cai Maode was obviously unfinished: "Come, Xiaohu, let's continue, go and see the training of the foot soldiers, the old man seems to be worth the trip!" ”

As long as he is satisfied, it seems that he should continue to show off, Zhou Huchen decided to continue, otherwise, the matter of "donation" reached the ears of the governor, he couldn't explain that in order to settle this future matter, Zhou Huchen must continue to show off, so that the shock continues: "According to Xiaohu, does the boss want to see the training of firearms, the firearms camp is very interesting, you may like it more!" ”

"Good, good! Just Xiaohu, let's go see the firearms drill. ”

…… This firearms training ground is completely different from the cavalry training ground, and it is also a little far away from the barracks, and before everyone can get close to the firearms training ground that Zhou Huchen said, they have already heard the sound of explosions, the sound of firearms, and the unique smell of gunpowder smoke wafting over.

Several soldiers who were on duty in front of the school yard saw a large group of people, including their own high-ranking officers, and hurriedly saluted.

Before everyone entered the training ground, they were surprised to see a huge earthen fence that crisscrossed the school field.

Cai Maode stopped, pointed to the earthen fence in front of him and asked puzzledly: "Xiaohu, what is this for?" ”

"Boss, this is to prevent the projectiles and shrapnel of firearms from scattering and accidentally injuring your own soldiers!"

Cai Maode nodded: "Not bad!" This earthen enclosure is very good, very insightful, and clever! ”

Of course, he is clever, of course he is insightful, this is Zhou Huchen drawing on hundreds of years of experience, not smart, how could Zhou Huchen think of letting businessmen "help".

Everyone talked and laughed and entered the barracks, and the current commander of the firearms battalion, the garrison Zhou Zirui, ran over (the old commander He Shijin stayed in Beijing).

Zhou Zirui saluted the chiefs, Zhou Huchen smiled, he decided to completely shock Cai Maode, so he shouted: "All of them have ~~ gathered!" ”

Suddenly, a terrible and piercing brass whistle sounded in the training ground, and the soldiers who were busy training on their own heard the sound of the brass whistle, and everyone began to act at the same time, as if they were burning their butts and began to run desperately with their weapons.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers were assembled, and this speed made Cai Maode and other civilian officials dizzy and surprised.

The preliminary estimate of the soldiers in the training ground was probably no less than three or four thousand, and the assembly was completed in such a short time, which almost amazed those civilian officials who were accustomed to seeing the Ming army was always extremely lazy and incompetent, and they could not imagine it. Ordinary Ming army, under normal circumstances, a team of thousands of people gathers, and it takes at least half an hour, or even longer, this week's Yuji soldiers are too surprising!

The speed of the collection is only the first item.

And the most shocking thing is the neatness of this queue, when the soldiers who ran over began to line up, whether it was a soldier holding a firearm or a soldier with a waist knife at his waist, one by one the waist pole was straight, no one spoke to each other, let alone moved indiscriminately, these soldiers stood there, as if they were standing in place.

The whole team is as neat as a long tofu block, neat and flawless. The officials who came to watch the drill kept whispering praise to each other, and the discipline of this team was good and worthy of recognition.

…… After a while, the sound of Zhou Zirui's leather boots sounded with a unique rhythm.

Facing Zhou Yuji, who was full of majesty, Zhou Zirui clenched his fists with both hands, and then knelt on one knee: "Qiqi is handsome!" In accordance with the military order, the firearms battalion has been assembled! Garrison officer Zhou Zirui

Please show me! ”

Zhou Yuji was very calm, and took a step forward with solemnity and majesty: "All the soldiers listen to the order, our army's superintendent Cai Laofuyuan came to Datong today, and he came to inspect our army's drills, and all of them saluted~~"

With a "bang", with Zhou Yuji's order, all the soldiers in the queue, including Zhou Zirui, who stood up as a firearms battalion garrison, all came to a roaring military salute in unison, and this military salute was loud.

It turned out to be a surprising chest-punching salute.

This unique military salute is so neat and amazing! Neat and solemn, full of masculine beauty.

The chest salute is an ancient ceremony, this military salute inherited from ancient times obviously has its shock more than the kneeling salute, it is full of the majestic and majestic beauty of the soldiers, so that the people present feel the charm of the military inheritance, and feel the majesty and cohesion of this army.
